[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider that a true antique is at least 100 years old, so furniture from 1924. That era was wood/all brown and trend is away from brown furniture so most pieces get repainted or donated or trashed. The scale seems off - positively tiny in today’s new homes with open plans. I know from experience in that I was fortunate to furnish nearly my entire first home with so much from my late grandparents everything from nightstands to dressers to desks and a cedar chest. Twenty years later, only a few pieces remain. Some I’ve passed along to family members, some have broken and I’ve recently donated even more - I just want something newer and fresher and these pieces seem just…tired. Same reason I’m about to donate my very plain wedding china - it’s just lost its appeal and my lifestyle and tastes have changed. [/quote] What was the brand? Are you replacing? If so, what are you thinking? Sincerely, Pondering Same[/quote]
